Mr. Niall Cody:

This year, we carried out 1,095 visits to construction sites. We interviewed 2,415 workers on those sites. We had 144 new registrations. They were not on anyone's books, and were neither subcontractors nor employees. Of the total number reclassified, six of those 2,415 workers were reclassified from subcontractors to employees. This represents 0.25% of those interviewed.
